Whether you were injured in a car accident in the Bronx or slipped and fell in a Manhattan store, you deserve strong legal support. Injuries can disrupt every part of your life—physically, emotionally, and financially. That’s why it’s important to have someone on your side who will thoroughly investigate the circumstances, identify the responsible parties, and pursue the full compensation you’re entitled to.
Our firm has helped thousands of clients file personal injury claims against negligent drivers, business owners, employers, and large corporations. We are prepared to take on even the most complex cases and are committed to protecting your rights every step of the way.
While we handle the legal work, you can focus on what matters most—your health and recovery. With our team in your corner, you will not have to face this process alone. We are here to guide you toward justice and a secure future.
New York personal injury law covers a wide range of accidents. At Parker Waichman LLP, we help clients handle even the most complex cases, including:
Whether you were injured in a car crash, truck accident, motorcycle collision, pedestrian or bicycle incident, or suffered harm on a construction site, the legal system can be difficult to navigate alone. We also assist victims of slip and falls, negligent security, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, defective products, and workplace injuries. Every case involves its own set of facts, but most share one common thread: your injuries were caused by someone else’s careless or reckless behavior, misconduct, or failure to act. That’s where the right legal team makes all the difference. A skilled attorney can gather evidence, identify liable parties, calculate your damages, and handle negotiations with insurance companies that rarely have your best interests in mind. With strong legal representation, you don’t have to carry the burden alone.
After an accident, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. You may not know who to talk to, what steps to take, or whether you even have a valid claim. That is where our team comes in.
You can seek compensation in New York if someone else’s negligence caused your injuries. This may include:
Many injury victims may also qualify for emotional distress compensation or long-term disability benefits. Our firm will carefully evaluate every aspect of your case. We aim to identify the full extent of your damages and pursue maximum compensation.
Your actions immediately after an injury can impact your personal injury claim. Follow these steps to protect yourself:
These steps protect your health, strengthen your case, and help preserve vital evidence for your potential claim.
In New York, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, certain cases—particularly those involving government agencies—have much shorter deadlines. In those instances, you may be required to file a Notice of Claim within just 90 days. Missing these critical deadlines can result in losing your right to seek compensation entirely. That is why consulting with a skilled personal injury attorney as soon as possible is essential. Acting quickly gives your lawyer the time to investigate, gather evidence, and protect your legal rights from the start.
To recover compensation based on the at-fault party’s negligence, we must prove that their actions—or failure to act—directly caused your injuries. This involves establishing four essential elements:
For example, if a distracted driver runs a red light and strikes a pedestrian, they have breached their duty of care. If the pedestrian suffers a broken leg, they may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Our attorneys build clear and compelling cases that prove these elements. We conduct thorough investigations, gather strong evidence, and work with experts to strengthen your claim. Our mission is to hold negligent parties accountable and help injury victims secure the justice and financial recovery they deserve.
The personal injury claim process involves several key steps designed to protect your rights and help you pursue fair compensation after an accident:
Throughout each phase, we keep you informed, answer your questions, and offer strategic legal guidance tailored to your unique situation. At Parker Waichman LLP, you are never just a case file—you are a person who deserves justice, and we are here to help you pursue it.
Our firm has been representing injured clients for over twenty years. We know New York law, understand how insurance companies operate, and have a long-standing record of success.
Here’s what sets us apart:
Our mission is to protect the rights of injury victims and pursue the justice they deserve. Whether your case involves a serious multi-vehicle crash, a slip-and-fall at a local business, or any other type of accident, we bring the same commitment and strategic support. From day one, we treat your case with care, urgency, and attention to detail.
If you are considering a personal injury claim, you probably have many questions about your rights, the legal process, and what to expect next.
If you were hurt and someone else is at fault, you likely have grounds for a claim. Schedule a free consultation so we can evaluate the facts and explain your legal options.
Every case is different. Factors like the severity of your injuries, lost income, and medical costs all impact the value of your case. Our attorneys can give you an estimate after reviewing the specifics.
Some cases settle in a few months, while others take over a year. It depends on how quickly we can gather evidence and how cooperative the opposing party is.
Most personal injury cases settle out of court. However, if the other side refuses fair compensation, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial.
Understanding the process and your rights is the first step toward recovery. Our team is here to answer your questions, help you make informed decisions, and provide the support you need to move forward confidently.
Injury cases are time-sensitive, and every day you wait could affect the outcome. If you are dealing with medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering after an accident, now is the time to act. The legal team at Parker Waichman LLP is here to help. We have successfully handled thousands of claims and recovered life-changing settlements for clients throughout New York.

I’m a 9/11 first responder, and I can honestly say that Parker Waichman made me feel like they had my best interest in my VCF case. Ms Candalino & Ms Viti are top notch in my book. I was constantly informed on the status of my case. I would definitely recommend Parker Waichman LLP to family and friends.
